Oh my goodness those poor girls

Some people are just bloody barbaric! How is it that in certain countries it's seen as okay to do these things?

Ther was a case a while ago about a young girl about 13 who had been gangraped in Pakistan (IIRC) and when her father told the police she was stoned to death

I think it says less about the religions involved than about the prevailing attitudes to women. They (and we) are seen as vessels; of family/honour/outward display of men's status rather than as humans in their own right.

But the religion is totally bound up with the attitudes to women. You can't separate Islam from the culture, the culture is Islam.

Am increasingly sickened by so many aspects of Islam
